For more than a decade, Louisiana Tech University’s international students have served up their culture on a platter for area residents.

“We’ve been doing this for 13 years,” said Bijoya Chakraborty, coordinator of the International Scholarship Dinner. “Each of the previous years the students have performed songs and dances from around the world, and have also served dishes from their home countries.”

For the fifth consecutive year, Louisiana Tech University has earned a Tier One ranking among “National Universities,” according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2016 Best Colleges list released Wednesday.

Tech, along with Tulane University and Louisiana State University, were the only institutions in the state to achieve a Tier One National Universities designation.

Louisiana Tech University will offer a new class this winter, Introduction to Leadership, to assist students in how to be professional and how to be a character-based leader.
Wayne Hogue, who joined Louisiana Tech this fall, will teach the class. He previously taught at Louisiana State University-Shreveport, where he was named Professor of the Year three times.
“It’s common knowledge that people are hired — and fired — because of the kind of person they are much more frequently than because of issues with skills, knowledge, abilities or even degree,” Hogue said. “Professionalism, character and leadership ability or potential encompass some of the most critical ‘fit’ traits in the work force today. That’s what this Introduction to Leadership class is about.”
